From the fears that long have bound us Free our hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, For the living of these days, For the living of these days. 3 Cure your children's warring madness, Bend our pride to your control; Shame our wanton, selfish gladness, Rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal, Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal. 4 Save us from weak resignation To the evils we deplore; Let the search for your salvation Be our glory evermore.

One family we dwell in him, one church above, beneath, though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death; one army of the living God, to his command we bow; part of his host have crossed the flood, and part are crossing now. 3. Ten thousand to their endless home this solemn moment fly, and we are to the margin come, and we expect to die. E'en now by faith we join our hands with those that went before, and greet the blood-besprinkled bands on the eternal shore. 4. Our spirits too shall quickly join, like theirs with glory crowned, and shout to see our Captain's sign, to hear his trumpet sound. O that we now might grasp our Guide! O that the word were given! Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide, and land us all in heaven. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Ocean and mountain, stream, forest and flower echoing praises, they tell of God's power. 4 Ever ascends holy love from on high; ever ascends this our song and our joy: blessing and honour and glory and praise— this is the theme of the hymns that we raise. 5 Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb; take we the robe and the harp and the palm; sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain, dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals Topics: New Day First Line: Love divine, all loves excelling (Isten testbe száltt szerelme) Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven, to earth come down; fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; Visit us with thy salvation; enter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, oh breathe thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit, let us find the promised rest; take away our love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy grace receive; suddenly return and never, never more thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray and praise thee, without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. 4 Finish then thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee, changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love and praise. --- HUNGARIAN - 1 Isten testbe száltt szerelme Mennhbôl földre jött öröm. Téged hívuak esdekelve, Es újjongunk jöttödön.

Oltsd el bennem a bún vágyát, Kezdet légy Te és a Vég; Add meg lelkem szabadságát, Melyben hit van s békesség. 3 Ó, jöjj vissza, Szabaditö, Töled nyerjúnk életet; Jöjj sietve s immár többé El ne hagyjad gyermeked! Téged áldunk miden órán, Es szolgálunk, szens Urunk, Mindig Hossád öhajtozván, Aldunk és magasztalunk. 4 Végesd új teremtö munkád, Tiszták, szentek hadd legyünk, Add, hogy vágyva vágyunk Hozzád, Mig tart földi életúnk. Vigy a mennybe, hol Elödbe Mind lerakjuk koronánk, Aldva zengi nagy szerelmed Mindörökké szivúnk, szánk. Scripture: Malachi 3:1 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
